Little Jiang

Description

A fresh and funny take on an old Chinese legend, this fast-paced, page-turning adventure for middle readers is full of heart. Mei Ling Pang was born at an inauspicious time on an inauspicious day, so wherever she goes, misfortune follows. When Little Jiang hops out of his grave and into Mei's life, fangs and all, her luck goes from bad to worse. But in trying to help Little Jiang, Mei might just make her own future brighter.

Shirley Marr is a first-generation Chinese-Australian and author of young adult and children's fiction.

She is still an accountant by day, but now a masked writer by night.
